Genset Battery Market Report 2026

The genset battery market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.03 billion in 2025 to $9.63 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to high reliance on diesel generators, limited renewable energy integration, conventional lead-acid battery usage, increasing industrialization, rising power outages.

The genset battery market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.31 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to shift towards lithium-ion technology, integration with renewable energy systems, growth in industrial and commercial applications, adoption of predictive maintenance technologies, rising demand for uninterrupted power supply. Major trends in the forecast period include smart battery management systems, rapid recharge technology, modular and scalable battery solutions, predictive maintenance and diagnostics, enhanced safety and reliability features.

The rising energy generation and storage demand is expected to drive the growth of the genset battery market going forward. Energy generation and storage demand refers to the need for producing electricity and storing it for future use to ensure a stable and continuous power supply. The demand is increasing due to the growing integration of renewable energy sources, which require efficient storage systems to maintain grid stability and ensure a reliable energy supply. Genset batteries play a vital role in supporting energy generation and storage by efficiently storing surplus power from generators and renewable sources, ensuring uninterrupted electricity availability, and providing dependable backup during power outages for industrial, commercial, and residential applications. For instance, in April 2024, according to the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment, and Water, an Australia-based government department, Australia’s total electricity generation remained steady in 2023 at approximately 273,106 gigawatt hours (GWh). Renewable energy contributed about 95,963 GWh, accounting for 35% of the country’s total generation, representing a 3-percentage-point increase compared to 2022. Therefore, the rising energy generation and storage demand is fueling the growth of the genset battery market.

Key companies operating in the genset battery market are focusing on introducing innovative technologies such as lithium-ion-based electronic gensets to enhance energy efficiency, minimize operational downtime, and extend lifecycle performance compared to traditional lead-acid batteries. A lithium-ion-based electronic genset is a generator system that utilizes lithium-ion batteries and electronic controls to provide efficient, reliable, and low-maintenance backup or off-grid power. For instance, in May 2023, Su-vastika Systems Private Limited, an India-based power backup and energy storage solutions company, launched a lithium-ion-based electronic genset named Power on Wheels, offering an eco-friendly, silent, and cost-effective alternative to conventional diesel generators. This genset features lithium batteries that fully charge within 4 to 5 hours, have a lifespan of 5 to 7 years, and offer customizable capacity and backup duration. It supports various load types, integrates with solar power, and requires no maintenance while producing zero emissions, making it suitable for commercial spaces, hospitals, and residential areas. It also reduces operational costs and carbon emissions compared to diesel gensets while providing instant power switching to protect sensitive equipment.

In May 2024, DEUTZ AG, a Germany-based manufacturer of diesel engines, acquired Blue Star Power Systems Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, DEUTZ is advancing its transformation from a component manufacturer to a complete solutions provider. The acquisition of Blue Star Power Systems is expected to generate additional annual revenue exceeding $100 million, with potential to surpass $150 million in the medium term. Blue Star Power Systems Inc. is a US-based manufacturer of genset batteries.

A genset battery is a specially engineered battery that supplies the necessary electrical power to start the engine of a generator set, ensuring dependable ignition whenever the generator is activated. Along with its primary role of engine cranking, the genset battery also powers auxiliary systems such as the control panel, monitoring equipment, and safety devices, supporting smooth operation and consistent power delivery during outages or continuous use.

The key types of genset batteries include lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, gel batteries, and absorbent glass mat (AGM) batteries. Lead-acid batteries comprise cells with lead plates submerged in sulfuric acid, generating electrical energy through chemical reactions. They are available in different capacities, including below 100 mAh, 101-200 mAh, 201-500 mAh, and above 500 mAh, and are distributed through both offline and online channels. These batteries are used in applications such as residential, commercial, and industrial power systems, telecommunications, and renewable energy storage, serving end-users across sectors such as utilities, oil and gas, manufacturing, construction, marine, and others.Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the genset battery market in 2025.
